Most tide-dominated estuarine and deltaic deposits accumulate in the fluvial-to-marine
transition zone, which is one of the most complicated areas on earth, because of the large …

The rock record contains a rich variety of sedimentary surface textures on siliciclastic
sandstone, siltstone and mudstone bedding planes. In recent years, an increasing number …

Ichnology is the study of traces created in the substrate by living organisms. This is the first
book to systematically cover basic concepts and applications in both paleobiology and …

Trace fossils in estuarine deposits of different ages have been compared to evaluate
colonization history of brackish-water ecosystems and to calibrate trace-fossil, brackish …

A large estuary was formed by marine inundation of the paleo-Changjiang (Yangtze) incised
valley during the transgression after the Last Glacial Maximum. This paper presents the …

Tidal rhythmites of the Tonganoxie Sandstone Member (Stranger Formation, Douglas
Group) at Buildex Quarry, eastern Kansas, contain a relatively diverse ichnofauna. The …

Shallow-marine tidal deposits form on open shelves, and more specifically in open-mouthed
embayments and semi-enclosed epicontinental seas, where the oceanic tide is amplified by …

In mesotidal settings the transition of a coastal plain estuary to the river is marked by the
change of a multiple ebb and flood channel configuration to a single channel system. At high …

The occurrence of trace fossil assemblages dominated by arthropod trackways and surface
grazing trails within Carboniferous tidal rhythmites has puzzled sedimentologists and …

Trace fossils are sensitive indicators of environmental fluctuations and, accordingly,
ichnological studies have the potential to improve facies characterization of marginal-marine …
